Wudu

Islamic ritual washing before prayer

Wuduʾ (Arabic: وضوء, romanized: wuḍūʾ, lit. 'ablution' [wʊˈdˤuːʔ]) is the procedure for cleansing parts of the body, a type of ritual purification by ablution, in Islam. The steps of wudu are: washing the hands, rinsing the mouth and nose, washing the face, then the forearms, then wiping the head and ears, then washing or wiping the feet, done in order without any long breaks between them. Wudu is an important part of ritual purity in Islam and is governed by fiqh, which specifies hygienical jurisprudence and defines the rituals that constitute it.
